Japan's Commercial Port.

Yokohama is the greatest commercial
port of the empire, and its importance is
increasing steadily year by year, Fine
steamers enter and leave its harbor every
day, and il is in telegraphic cornmunica-
ton with all parts of the world. Its most
important export at the present time is
silk, the value Of that sent to the United
States and Europe last year amoGntingto
s12y 100000. Tea comes next in order Of
importance, and almost all of it is sent
direct TO san Francisco for American
consumption. That sent to the United
States last year was valued at $4,000
and the amount exported is slowly but
steadily increasing.
OF 1900 foreigners in Yokohama near
ly 900 are British subjects, go Ameri-
cans, 16O Germans, 100 French, and
2,5O0 Chinese. The Chinese here are

The Joke Put on the Lawyer.

Leslie Coombs, great friend of Henry
Clay, and a popular stump speaker, used
to tell a good story about Counselor Hig-
gins. He was exceedingly adroit in de-
Tending prisoner, and would sometimes
almost laugh down an indictment for
small offense- A fellow (one Smith be-
ing on trial for stealing turkey, the
counselor attempted 10 give good hu
mored turn to the affair. why, gentle
men of the jury" said be, ''this is really
a small affair. / wonder why anyone
would bring such complaint into court;
if We are going on at this rate We shall
have enough business on our hands. Why
recollect when was at College nothing
was more common than to 90 out forag-
ing. We did not get the poultry too often
in the same place, and there was no harm
done. no fault found" Notwithstanding
this appeal, the jury convicted the pris-
oner. After the court rose, one OF the
jury, plain old farmer, meeting the
counselor, complimented his ingenuity
in the defense. And now, Squire, said
he, fxiag knowing look on him, ~ l

road do you take in going home, the up

How to Manage a Fire.

Fire requires air; therefore on its ap-
pearance every effort should be made to
exclude air, shut all the doors and win
dows. BY these means fire may be con-
fined TO a single room for a sufficient pc
Rod TO allow all the inmates 10 be arous-
ed and escape; but if the doors and win
dows are thrown open the tanning of the
wind aud the draught will instantly
cause the flames to increase with great
rapidity IL must never be forgotten that
the most precious moments are at the
commencement Of the fire, and not a sin
gle second Of time should be lost in tack
ling it. In a room table cloth can be
used as 10 smother large sheet of flame
and cushion may serve to beat il out !;
a coat or anything similar may be used
with an equal and successful advantage.
The great point is presence of mind,
calmness in danger, action guided by rea-
son and thought. In all large houses
buckets Of water should be placed on ev-
cry landing, little salt being put in the
water. Always endeavOr 10 attack the
bed of fire, shut the windows, and be
sure 70 shut the door when making your
retreat. A wet silk handkerchief tied
over the eyes and nose will make breath
ing possible in the midst Of much smoke,
and blanket wetted and and wrapped
around the body will enable person 10
pass through sheet Of flames in compar-
ative safety. should lady's dress catch
fire, let the wearer at once lie down roll
ling may extinguish the fire, but if not,
anything wollen preferred, wrapped tight

China'S Great Wall a Myth.

Able LArrieu, formerly a missionary in
China, has published a pamphlet Paris,
Leroux), on the great wall Of China, to
demonstrate that this structure does not
exist and has never existed. The popu-
lar belief is that this wall stretches for
abuot 500 leagues across China, from the
sea 10 the province Of Kan-Su, that it Is
wholly constructed Of cut stone. and 30
cubits high and y broad Il is believed
to run straight on regardless Of obstacles,
going down valleys and up mountains,
without break, except such as time has
made, along It's whole course. This no
ton originated with Jesuit named Mar
TIM, who visited China about 1850, and
his description was followed by subse-
quent writers.
NJ Larrieu has lived for several years
under what would have been the shadow
Of the Great Wall had there been one /;
he has studied the writings Of recent wri-
ters-especially Able Hue-who have
crossed the line of the alleged wall in va
rious places he has likewise studied the
Chinese history on the subject, and his
conclusions are as follows: o. The term
Great Wall is at the bottom Of all the
misunderstanding, and it comes from the
Chinese expression, ''the wall of the ten
thousand H." (2i rs described by Marti-
nj and the other writers who have copied
him. this wall does not and never did
exist (3l Chinese emperor undoubted-
~ did conceive the idea of graf wall
from the Gulf Of Liao-Long on the east
% Kan-Su on the west. and this, though
never realized, had a beginning; az all
along the proposed line Of the wall square
towers of earth, or of earth faced with
brick, were constructed at considerable
distances from each other, but these
were never joined together by any wall
as was originally intended.
In some of the defiles along the route
there are walls, but these particular pas
sages, or they are merely the walls of vii
lagos. and are not parts of larger
scheme. Hence the only part of the
scheme of the Great Wall was carried out
the construction of these scattered towers /;
the rest never went beyond the brain
that conceived il F; il was never more
than a fancy, and it Is now a myth. This
huge Chinesewall, says Able Larsieu, a is
huge chinese lie, and as for the million
soldiers who were said 10 guard If night
and day, they are myths likewise. The
alleged Great Wall Is a favorite excursion
for Europeans visiting Pekin, and such a
question as whether it exists at all or not
should be an easy one to settle definitely.

MULLINS, THE AGNOSTIC.

II wasn't by no means slow
You might be talking social ike
With fellows al the store,
On war and politics and SIGH,
And YOU might have the hoor
And be gittin things down fine
Provin that things was so,
When Mullin would stick bis long nose in
With ''Humph, how do you know ~

And take a sermon in,
And turn his nose up in sneer
At death and grace and sin,
With no regard for time and place
Or realms of endless woe,
He'd rise and burst the whole thing up
With Humph, how do you know p
He cut his grass whenever it rained,
He shocked his wheat up green,
He cut his corn behind the frost,
His hogs was allus lean.
He built his stacks with big ends up,
His corn cribs big end down;
" Crooked as Mullins roadside fence

The older he got the wuss he grew,
And crookeder day by day

But if you said he didn't look well
He'd growl, Now, how do you know p
